To Girlawhirl and her Super Pals, yoga doesn't always conjure up the same image of a calorie-burning, sweat-inducing workout like their standing Spinning date or the 'Buns of Steel' or Tae Bo videos they squeeze in at home when they're pressed for time. But truth be told, they're not fooled at all by what looks so easy: yoga's deep breathing and long slow poses. They know and doctors and personal training experts agree - that it all adds up to a workout that can seriously trim and tone their bodies. Add to that the mental and spiritual benefits and they're walking out of class feeling as if they can handle any and everything that gets thrown their way... | |
When she practices Yoga and Pilates, Girlawhirl just plain feels good even when she's in the middle of holding a pose or halfway through her 'hundreds.' Because these types of exercises require the involvement of her mind, she doesn't get bored like she can on the elliptical trainer. Since she's truly involved in each movement, it has an immediate impact on her sense of wellbeing and her desire to feel good and look great. And feeling good is more likely to get her back to another workout tomorrow and the next day.
Girlawhirl knows firsthand that Yoga and Pilates will indeed strengthen her muscles and make her leaner. After just a few downward facing dogs or plank poses she feels it! And creating more lean muscle means that she burns more calories and fat whether she's active or not, 24 hours a day.
The inspiration behind Gaiam's yoga products, from award-winning yoga videos with some of the best yoga instructors in the word, to a wide selection of yoga mats, tools, kits and equipment is twofold. To help Girlawhirl and her Super Pals everywhere live their lives in healthy bodies and with expanded minds and full spirits. And to feel their connection to the world around them by offering environmentally sound products.
Super Pals can take in what experts say about how to use yoga for weight loss and get started on their own Yoga or Pilates plan with a special discount at Gaiam. Receive Free Shipping on your order of $40 or more at Gaiam through 3/31/08 when you use code AFJD at checkout. And get ready to pare down with some downward dogs.
